Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult give oxygen.Loosen clothing and place exposed in a comfortable position.Seek immediate medical attention. After skin contact: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. After eye contact: Protect unexposed eye.Flush exposed eye gently using water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses while rinsing.IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. After swallowing: Rinse mouth with water.Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Irritation.Shortness of breath.Headache.Nausea.Dizziness.The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis. Exposure at high levels could cause cardiac dysrhythmia and unconsciousness.;The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. The substance may have effects on the central nervous system. Exposure to the substance may increase noise-induced hearing loss. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: If seeking medical attention provide SDS document to physician. Physician should treat symptomatically. SECTION 5 : Firefighting measures Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing agents: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Solid streams of water may spread fire. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.Vapors may ignited and cause explosion if in confined space. Vapors can flow across ignition source and flashback.

Refer to Section 8. Additional information (precautions): Avoid inhaling gases, fumes, dust, mist, vapor, and aerosols. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition. If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. SECTION 6 : Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Ensure adequate ventilation.Ensure that air-handling systems are operational. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.Remove all sources of ignition. Environmental precautions: Should not be released into environment.Prevent from reaching drains, sewer, or waterway. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Wear protective eyeware, gloves, and clothing. Refer to Section 8.Always obey local regulations.If necessary use trained response staff or contractor. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Containerize for disposal. Refer to Section 13.Keep in suitable closed containers for disposal.Remove all sources of ignition.Have extinguishing agent available in case of fire. Use non-sparking equipment. Reference to other sections: SECTION 7 : Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Refer to Section 8.Follow proper disposal methods. Refer to Section 13.Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances.Use explosion-proof equipment.Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a cool location.Keep away from food and beverages.Protect from freezing and physical damage.Provide ventilation for containers. Keep container tightly sealed. Store away from incompatible materials. Store as flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. SECTION 8 : Exposure controls/personal protection Control Parameters: 108-88-3 , Toluene, ACGIH TLV TWA 20 ppm 108-88-3, Toluene, OSHA PEL TWA 200 ppm Appropriate Engineering controls: Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use or handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.Use under a chemical fume hood.Use explosion-proof equipment.
